Very clean facilities, the power supply had both 30 and 15 amp which was great. Loved the fireflies. Price is reasonable, I did find the site a bit small so while I was there I booked the one beside us and that made it more comfortable. Easy online booking was very helpful.

Great campground with beautiful facilities. Soccer pitches, walking trails, playgrounds, fishing in the river and a beautiful swimming pool with lessons for the kids.

Awesome place if you have a young family and like to camp. The water park looked amazing. We had a one night stay in a very level pull through site. Would highly recommend Victoria Park if you’re in the area.

Love this place…. Within 24 hrs of arriving at this little piece of heaven…. We saw a mother & father goose and four little ones and the cutest little runt, a turtle at least 1 1/2 feet in diameter, a small herd of four deer and a sweet little fawn, and one possible weasel?? We are not sure but it was very exciting. Usually we sit and face the inside of the campground and people watch …. But we all sit facing the creek!!! It has been soooo relaxing, watching the wildlife and listening to the rippling stream. A little piece of heaven. ❤️ UPDATE: This morning we witnessed our turtle laying eggs and burying them, then returning to the creek. Bonus…a giant toad hopped through our campsite. What a great 3 days!!!😊👍❤️

It's an OK little campground within easy walking distance of downtown. Some of the sites are kind of tight with the trees. It would be nice if they cleaned the garbage out of the creek behind site 52. The sewer drain on site 52 is a long way away and almost useless. We just used one on another site when we left.
